Answer:
"Decrease by 250" is the appropriate response.
Explanation:
The given values are:
Revised fixed cost,
= $150,000
Current selling price,
= $100
Current variable cost,
= $60
Current contribution will be:
=  
=  
=  
Now,
The revised BEP will be:
=  
On substituting the values, we get
=  
=  
hence,
=  
=  
Thus the above is the correct answer.
 
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:
The correct answer is the option B: manipulating a customer's want into a need. 
Explanation:
To begin with, in the field of marketing there are several instruments that can be used in order to obtain the customer's attention, such as the advertisements and the salespeople. Moreover, these two types of tools can generate in the client a shift in his behavior that makes him feel that his desire or want is now a new need that must be satisfy. Therefore that the advertisements tend to capture the people's attention with bright colors and wonderfull and desired situations.

Answer: $3,875 Favorable 
Explanation: We can compute direct labor efficiency variance by using following formula :-
Direct labor efficiency variance = standard rate ( actual hours - standard hours)
where, 
standard hours = 5,500units * 0.5 hour = 2750 hours
actual hours = 3,000 hours 
standard rate = $15.5 
putting the values into equation we get :-
Direct labor efficiency variance =  $15.5  ( 3,000 - 2750)
                                                     = $3,875 Favorable

Answer:
Effect on income= $120,000 loss
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Sales $320,000
Variable costs $200,000
Fixed costs $140,000.
None of the fixed costs are avoidable. Therefore, they shouldn't be taken into account to make the decision.
Effect on income= Sales - varaible cost
Effect on income= 320,000 - 200,000= $120,000 loss
